I have not posted on here in a while. That is not to say I haven't written on paper or had thoughts in my mind that just didn't make it on here or in my journal. I started this blog to talk about Jesse, grief, and our hope journey after loss. I wish I had not neglected it for this long, especially since it helps me practice articulating (which I am not the best at) how I am feeling and share it with others that may be feeling the same way, and hopefully help them too. Less and less people ask, almost three years in and maybe others do expect me to be "ok," not sure. What hurts is not being asked about Jesse, ever. I believe every loss mom agrees, hearing our babies name, acknowledging them is the best gift, not avoiding bringing them up because we will be in tears, why wouldn't we be? we miss them and yearn to talk about them, he isn't a painful memory, we love him and were blessed with him, even if it was for an incredibly short time. If you have a friend that has lost a baby, take time the time often to mention their name to them, ask them about their baby, encourage them to tell their story and mean it.If you have lost a baby, I am so sorry, your baby is loved, missed and remembered along with my Jesse and I pray there is a day that we all get to see our babies again.
